Chester disabled woman’s taxi firm dispute
10:02, Mar 6 2008
by David Holmes, Chester Chronicle
A DISABLED woman was “disgusted” after feeling abandoned by a taxi firm which took her to a rural village but would not take her home unless she coughed up £30.
Eventually Chester Radio Taxis agreed to deliver Jean Simm, 78, back to her Waverton home in one of its Hackney carriages capable of carrying her electric wheelchair – and for the usual £8.10 fare.
The taxi firm claims the issue is “not black and white” because of particular issues associated with conveying people in wheelchairs.
